Personal Milestone (I)

It's been a while since my last post on this blog. I've been buried in my dissertation for the past six months. Thus the neglect of my blogging duties. It's been a long journey, one that has been physically, intellectually and emotionally challenging (and oftentimes exhausting) but after approximately 6 years here at Duke, I successfully defended my dissertation on Wednesday, March 31st, 2010! Later, I'll write a lengthier post on the process of obtaining my PhD but for now, I'm enjoying the feeling of having the PhD monkey off my back!

Is it true that American kids have eaten so much that obesity is rampart in USA while there are lots of children starving with thin and frail body in South America countries?

Is it true that when the Iranian President who visited Columbia university a couple of years back, he did say "When merchants and traders control and rule the world, peace and prosperity shall bestow upon all mankind"?

Doc Kian Ming: I have learned that all men are born free. Free to spend money and consume. Free to breed, mate, multiply and spread.

It is Allah's special given right to all human beings to be born free, live free in a free society and engage in free trade,free enterprise, free speech and expression.

Moreover, I have found out that back in the early 1970s, Deng Xiaoping have already structured the social ladders of human society in this part of the world just as the same purpose of New Economics Policy being first introduced by Malaysian Government in the early 70s.

He explained it in explicit words in front of Chairman Mao and Secretary Kissinger.

The less minority your line of work or profession, the bottommost at the bottom of human food chain you will be, the more majority of your line of work or chosen profession, the higher at the top of human food chain you will be.

Therefore businessmen, bankers, capitalists, property developers, accountants,etc.. are all at the top of human food chain.

This is the rule of the law that every living human beings on this planet must uphold in order to live free.

So know yourself, know your social status and know your enemies.

And remember this, capitalism is the only necessary condition to attain freedom.

I remember that after I finished mine, I had seven wonderful months where I could check out and read any book I wanted from the university library, and not only stuff related to my dissertation topic. (Night reading only as I was holding a full time job at the Maryland Dept of Health). Returned to SE Asia for good after that.
